[PATCH] ipmi: avoid gcc warning

From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Wed Jan 28 2015 - 20:09:11 EST


A new harmless warning has come up on ARM builds with gcc-4.9:

drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c: In function 'smi_send.isra.11':
include/linux/spinlock.h:372:95: warning: 'flags' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&lock->rlock, flags);
^
drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c:1490:16: note: 'flags' was declared here
unsigned long flags;
^

This could be worked around by initializing the 'flags' variable, but it
seems better to rework the code to avoid this.
